He is also survived by his sisters-in-law, Linda Zirkle and Debbie Raines; one brother-in-law, Roger Gibson; his niece, Lisa; and his nephew, Craig. He was a good mechanic all of his life and he loved fast cars, hunting, and camping. He also loved four-wheeling in the mud. He served in the Vietnam War and received a Purple Heart. Billy suffered in pain a long time from back problems in the last ten years. He is now pain free and will be greatly missed by all of his friends and family. He had such a strong personality and will never be forgotten. We will always remember the great times and the teasing everyone endured.
